I know this question has probably been asked 10,000 times before.
But if I go over the word limit for the short answer on the common app by ten words, will I be doomed/harmed? Will it cut it off? Anybody know?
It's not going to doom you, but you might want to try to bring it down. But to be honest, 10 words really isn't that much, so don't kill yourself over it.
